Resource Title:Confronting Climate Change in the Gulf Coast Region
Description:The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is an independent nonprofit alliance of 50,000 concerned citizens and scientists across the country who "augment rigorous scientific analysis with innovative thinking and committed citizen advocacy to build a cleaner, healthier environment and a safer world." The Confronting Climate Change in the Gulf Coast Region curriculum guide contains ten activities related to the report of the same name, all of which can be viewed and downloaded from the site after registering for free. Geared to students in the 9-12 grade in all areas of the country, the authors write that the materials are easily adaptable for college and middle school students and are particularly suited for students living in the affected states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Even though the UCS's environmental rhetoric reveals certain biases, all educators should find the activities and information available on their site worth looking at and sharing with their students.
